Listening is a practice of awe-making, shape-shifting, realm-hopping, relationship building, the cultivation of attention.
(Are you listening, now?)
Intentional sound offerings and attentive listening practices have the potential to, at once, bring us deeper into our bodies while making room for the imaginal, the poetic, the cosmic. Creating deeper, more alive connectivity to our community and our self.

CHARLIE LOVES TO LISTEN.
A queer sound artist, certified Deep Listening® practitioner, and somatic facilitator, Charlie holds embodied experiences that weave somatic frameworks, electro-acoustic soundscape creation, attentional + queer ecology, Deep Listening® practices, sonic world-building, and imagination work.
Charlie has been offering immersive sound experiences since 2012, and is the creator of the sonic bodies™ method: a somatically oriented sound meditation training bringing together 15 years of study and experience as a somatics and sound facilitator. As an artist, they work inside the mediums of ambient + experimental music, performance poetry, photography, and movement practices.
Their offerings are nervous system informed and rooted in curiosity, cultural and scientific research, and creativity. They are deeply orientated to a world of liberation and self-realization of all sentient beings, and believes that collective listening and spaces for slowness are vital for imagining new worlds and generating our sense of awe.
Charlie offers sound experiences, retreats, and somatic sound trainings globally. They currently reside as an uninvited settler on the stolen, ancestral territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən, colonially known today as Victoria, BC.
